Adaptive Bi-Xenon High Intensity
Discharge Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically swivels the head-
light beam pattern horizontally to provide
increased illumination in the direction the
vehicle is steering.
NOTE:
Each time the Adaptive Headlight system is
turned on, the headlights will initialize by
performing a brief sequence of rotations.
The Adaptive Headlight System is active
only when the vehicle is moving forward.
The Adaptive Headlight system can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System,
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight illu -
mination for up to 90 seconds (programmable)
when leaving your vehicle in an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, place the igni -
tion in the OFF position while the headlights
are still on. Then, turn off the headlights
within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins
when the headlight switch is turned off. NOTE:
The headlight delay feature is automatically
activated if the customer leaves the head
-
light switch in the AUTO position while the
ignition is placed in the OFF position.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights
on, or place the ignition in ACC or RUN, the
system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the igni -
tion, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45
seconds of placing the ignition in the OFF
position to activate this feature.
The headlight delay time is programmable
using the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.

on, and a second time to turn them off.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster illu-
minates when the fog lights are turned on.
Turn Signals

the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper oper -
ation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:

flash, or there is a very fast flash rate,
check for a defective LED turn signal in
the headlamp. Please see an authorized
dealer for service.
When the Daytime Running Lights are on
and a turn signal is activated, the Daytime
Running Lamp will turn off on the side of
the vehicle in which the turn signal is
flashing. The Daytime Running Lamp will
turn back on when the turn signal is
turned off.

This feature prevents the headlights from
interfering with the vision of oncoming
drivers. Headlight leveling automatically
adjusts the height of the headlight beam in
reaction to changes in vehicle pitch.

load shedding is provided for both the inte -
rior and exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar
for 10 minutes or the dimmer control is
rotated all the way up to the dome on posi -
tion for 10 minutes, the interior lights will
automatically turn off. NOTE:
Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition
is ON.

is placed in the OFF position, the exterior
lights will automatically turn off after eight
minutes. If the headlights are turned on and
left on for eight minutes while the ignition is
OFF, the exterior lights will automatically
turn off.
NOTE:
The battery saver mode is canceled if the
ignition is OFF and the headlamp switch is in
the park lamp position. The parking lamps
will remain on and drain the vehicle's
battery.

Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion on four-wheel drive operation and proper
use.
— Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light
This light indicates when the rear axle lock
has been activated.

This indicator light will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.
— Glow Plug Light — If Equipped
This vehicle will inhibit engine cranking
when the ambient temperature is less than
–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature
sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. The Glow Plug
light will flash during in cold weather for up
to ten seconds.
If equipped with a block heater harness the
message “Plug In Engine Heater”, will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5°F (-15° C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder
to avoid possible crank delays at the next
cold start.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
